Mr. G. Stewart opposed the motion as being- bardly fair to members wishing to `row in the open races, The interest taken in the Regaita was not now centred in one race, and he thought it was better that it should be so. He propored a ao amendment that three nights a week be devoted to training for the Chairman's Cup and the other three nights to the open races—the Ladies' Purse, the Garrison Cup, and the later

national Race.

Mr. A. Denison seconded. -- Capt. Davidson though', as there were five races on the programme open to new members, that was a very fair proportion. With regard to what Mr. Sampson bad said about training, there were other hours open besides those he had mentioned. Every civilian who liked to get out of bed early in the morning could practice between and 8.30 a.m., while there were some members of the Club who, even if they did get out of bed catch other duties to perform which prevented them from training.

The Chairman then put Mr. Stewart's amend ment to the meeting, and it was carried by a large majority., -

Mr. Stephen announced that the Regatta would be held on the 18th and 19th December.

The Chairman haped that no friction of any training. He thought that if a sportsmanlike feeling were shown everything would be settled satisfactorily. (Applause),
